With their design that’s been virtually copied and rehashed by other laptop companies, HP decided to give the latest HP Pavilion dv5t Entertainment Notebook a whole new, fresh perspective. It comes in onyx and chrome with a grid pattern from the lid to the keyboard deck, giving it a unified liquid metallic look. It features the standard as well as some non-standard ports such an HDMI, eSATA, and a 54mm ExpressCard slot. It has a 15.4-inch frameless widescreen display giving it a crisp, clean look. The reviewer noted that it carried a lot of glare, though it has excellent horizontal and vertical viewing angles. The Altec Lansing speakers worked impressively with the display, providing enough volume to fill a room. It comes with new protection features such as an accelerometer that stops the 250GB drive in case the notebook goes on freefall. The eSATA port gives your files the security of fast backups. Graphic benchmarks showed numbers that meant easy 3D gaming. And since its powered by the Intel’s Centrino 2 mobile technology, expect great benchmarks score. Clearly, the HP Pavilion dv5t is a great sequel to its older brother, the dv6500t.
